Because of the spring rain two days ago, there was mud on the street. The cart ran through the accumulated water and mud, splashing water and splashing to the street, attracting people from the green forest squatting under the eaves to scold.

Lu Liangsheng walked into the city with a donkey, watching the knight with his sword stalked by quickly. On the street where he walked, the blacksmith shop beating the red-hot ironware. He occasionally glanced at him and showed his vigilance. He just turned his face when he saw that it was a scholar.

"There are quite a lot of people in the green forest in Penglai County, which must be related to the dock shipping."

Since ancient times, sea transportation has been mostly controlled by snobbish forces. If interests are involved, there will naturally be people in the green forest who are prone to participate. This has both pros and cons, and it is difficult to explain in detail.

‘Let’s find an inn to settle in first and find out if there are any ships going to sea recently.’

Penglai County is not big. After walking two or three streets, it can be roughly calculated. Lu Liangsheng smiled and thought about this. He called the pedestrians passing by, bowed and asked about the nearby inn.

The man saw that the scholar was polite and had a little displeasure on his face, but he also disappeared.

"Don't blame me, this young master. There were a few scholars asking for directions before. That was so annoying... Well, if you want to stay in the inn, it would be better to go to Yuelai. Many places are operated, and it is famous. There will be no stealing. We are mixed here, and foreigners are easily bullied... Look, you can see it by walking forward from this street and turning the street intersection. There are about fifty steps."

"Thank you."

Lu Liangsheng made some polite words with the other party. After thanking him, he followed the address he guided to see the flags floating on the street from afar. The inn saw the guests entering the door and took the reins diligently.

"Please, please, old donkey, the young one will take you to the backyard to feed some grass."

Then, he turned his head and shouted inward: "One outside!"

Sure enough, there are some skills to open stores everywhere, at least they can make people feel comfortable. Lu Liangsheng crossed the threshold and said to another store guy who came over: "Do you have any rooms in your store?"

"Some, some, the guest officials will come with the younger ones."

I opened a room number from the shopkeeper, and as the gang went up to the third floor, there were often vendors coming and going in the city. The rooms on the second floor were basically full, and even the third floor was only one side room. When I opened the door and went in, the furnishings were quite complete. Only a window on the side could see a corner of the dock in the distance.

"Just let's just this room. If you go down, you can arrange a table of food for me. I'm the only one, and you can get an ordinary dish."

Lu Liangsheng looked out the window, turned around and took out two cents from his sleeve and put them in his hand. The latter rubbed the copper coins and put them in his arms with a smile, "Every, let's go and prepare. If the guest wants to take a hot bath, he will give you an order and burn it immediately. By the way, if you are alone... the young one can also have some fun for you."

Seeing his winking expression, Lu Liangsheng could not guess what it was. He smiled and waved his hand: "If you don't fall in love with the wild flowers outside, you won't need it."

The local area is mixed with good and bad things, so it is normal to have this kind of thing. Moreover, the business trips that come from a long distance are not all people who are in a mess. It is not that good to have a woman accompanying her in bed.

After sending the waiter who was a little disappointed, Lu Liangsheng changed his clothes from the bookshelf. Taoist Toad climbed onto the bed and stretched comfortably, then turned over and sat up, and took out a roll of recipes from the small closet, with a round webbed head slid across it.

"Ryosen, what...dish will be here?"

"It's near the sea, so there's a lot of seafood." Lu Liangsheng came out from behind the screen, tied a lumber towel while looking at the toad on the bed.

"Master, there are many people here, so I won't take you down to eat with you. I'll pack it up later."

"Go and go."

The Toad Taoist didn't raise his head, squinted his toad eyes and looked carefully at the dish he recorded: "I just stretch my muscles and bones and take care of my body, otherwise I would be seasick when going to sea."

Lu Liangsheng stood at the door and smiled, but did not disturb his master's rest. He exited the room and closed the door gently, and cast a spell to secure the door so that someone would slip into the room and hold the sheep as soon as he left.

Afterwards, I went down to the first floor of the inn. The shop guy had prepared the meal, which was simple and three dishes and one soup. Both of them were seafood. After asking for the price, it was fair.

Sure enough, there are also benefits of large stores, and there are few people who slaughter customers.

"Oh, here we are here!"

Suddenly there was a noise outside. A guy guarding the door hurried back. The shopkeeper there was also urging him. Lu Liangsheng looked at the guy running into the kitchen curiously. In less than a moment, he brought a basin of clear water and quickly came out and ran outside the inn as if waiting for something.

"What is this for?" Seeing this strange scene, Lu Liangsheng asked the guy passing by.

"Popular water on the Dragon King, get lucky and get a prize."

"I see."

Lu Liangsheng thanked his friend, put down his chopsticks and stood up and walked outside. The pedestrians divided the sides. Even the fierce Green Forest Knight looked calm at this time and covered the weapons.

A team of blowing and beating came from afar. Eight bare-sleeved men came over with a large lacquered sedan chair with an uncapped painted red sedan chair. The sedan chair was covered with clay sculptures, a human body, and a bead curtain and crown. When passing by the scholar, the gang at the door rushed to the side of the sedan chair.

After watching the excitement, the pedestrians on the street returned to their original state and did their own things. Lu Liangsheng returned to the inn and continued to ask the guy who was talking to him: "By the way, I'll ask you something about it. Will there be ships going to sea in the past two days? It doesn't matter where you go."

The reason why I asked here is that, first, the inn is well-informed, the guy must know one or two, and the other is that it causes the verbal talk. People who are not kind-hearted can say a few words and give some advice.

The guy beside him frowned and thought.

"It should be... After the beginning of spring, everyone will go out to sea to seek life. The young master might as well go to the dock to ask in person. If the price is good, there should be a ship to take it on the way."

Lu Liangsheng nodded, probably understood a little, and then asked again.

"Oh? Where do you usually go?"

"It's hard to say that there are many people going to Goryeo, and there are also many people going south along the coast and going to other places. You don't really want to go out to sea, right? That's not fun."

Seeing Lu Liangsheng dressed in a scholarly manner, he thought he was showing off his style of a literati, and wanted to go out to sea to see the sunrise. He recited poems and wrote essays, which made Lu Liangsheng look down at himself and asked with a smile: "Why?"

The guy paused, looked around and whispered: "I heard many people say that the sea is calm and the waves are stormy and the waves are surging. Isn't that the monsters cause trouble? Some people say it is even more mysterious, saying that people who saw half a fish tail on the sea, swimming around the sea naked... There are also many sea monsters, and a prodigal son can overturn the boat."

“Hahaha…”

After hearing this, Lu Liangsheng chuckled a few times. He didn't care about the so-called wind and waves. There were many storms on the rivers. As for monsters, he didn't have to pay attention to it. It was strange that half-human and half-fish were mentioned in "Shan Hai Tu Zhi", or sea people like mermaids. So if you ask them about Guixu land, it might be more detailed, after all, they are all at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing the scholar giggling foolishly, the guy thought he couldn't listen, so he sighed and shook his head and went there.

After dinner, he brought some food back to the third floor room. Lu Liangsheng sat on the bed and talked about the experiences he heard from the sea downstairs to his master. The toad Taoist was eating, and suddenly raised his face, with food wrapped on his cheeks, and cursed: "It's coming again, huh! Don't talk about these things in front of the master next time, let's not let you eat..."

Before he finished speaking, his head suddenly drooped. When he raised it again, the toad face looked majestic, stood up with his webbed face, chewed it casually for a few times, swallowed the food, took a deep breath and looked at the dock with a corner outside the window.

"Ah...I'm here again."

Lu Liangsheng frowned: "Your Majesty, have you been here too?"

Hearing the name "Your Majesty", he looked at the First Emperor outside and quickly turned around and hooked the hook frog webbing.

"Hurry, call me a few more times!"

"..." Lu Liangsheng looked at him speechlessly, and still called out: "Your Majesty."

The First Emperor closed the toad eyes with satisfaction, raised his face and slowly turned to the window frame. He couldn't help but sigh "Ah~~" in his mouth. After a while, he came to his senses and continued to say what he had just said.

"I have been here more than once... Xu Fu went to sea twice that year. By the way, I remember meeting a big fish here, which is as huge as a house. Not only is it not afraid of me, but it also dares to hit my ship. In the end, I was killed with my sword, and the blood that flowed out dyed the sea red."

He turned his face and looked at the scholar sitting on the bed: "Do you know why?"

Lu Liangsheng shook his head and said nothing.

"There is the edge of the Spirit Formation here, and the sealed magic power has become thinner. The gods in the sky knew that I was going to go out to sea and tried every means to block it, so they sent a big fish to attack me. This time, you should be careful. You are a practitioner of Taoism, and what you encounter cannot be more dangerous than what I encounter."

The short body in front of the window frame waved the frog webbed angrily, looking outside and saying this, Lu Liangsheng frowned when he heard it. There was something like this.

He looked at the window frame. The brilliant spring outside began at some point, but gradually became cloudy.

.........

On the calm sea, the clouds covered the sun's shadow and pushed the sea quickly, wrapping the lively pier in. The white bird named in the sky seemed to be frightened and flew to the nearby sea cliff reefs in panic.

Looking down at the deep blue sea, a huge long shadow swam silently from the bottom of the sea, rolling up circles of water waves to form a white line and slamming towards the shore.

boom--

A thunder blew up among the clouds, and soon, heavy rain fell. At the pier, the people in the city covered their robes and sleeves and hid in panic on the rain, cursing the ghost weather.

Lu Liangsheng, who originally planned to go out in the afternoon, reached out to pick up the rain curtains falling from the eaves. The rainstorm outside was raining, and he couldn't see the streets outside clearly. He had to give up for a while when traveling. He crossed the master who was digging food with big mouthfuls, and simply took the sound of rain and found two books from the bookshelf and walked to the bedside to read. He was leisurely and content.
